**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation: The Windows message queuing service, which is a Windows component, needs to be enabled for a system to be exploitable by this vulnerability. This feature can be added via the Control Panel. You can check to see if there is a service running named **Message Queuing** and TCP port 1801 is listening on the machine.

**There are GDR and/or CU (Cumulative Update) updates offered for my version of SQL Server. How do I know which update to use?** * First, determine your SQL Server version number. For more information on determining your SQL Server version number, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 321185 - How to determine the version, edition, and update level of SQL Server and its components. * Second, in the table below, locate your version number or the version range that your version number falls within. The corresponding update is the one you need to install. **Note** If your SQL Server version number is not represented in the table below, your SQL Server version is no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest Service Pack or SQL Server product in order to apply this and future security updates. Update number Title Apply if current product version is… This security update also includes servicing releases up through… 5021522 Security update for SQL Server 2022 RTM+GDR (Feb 2023...

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** A user needs to be tricked into running malicious files.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system. Additionally, an attacker could convince a local user to open a malicious file. The attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker would need to send a specially crafted RPC call to an RPC host. This could result in remote code execution on the server side with the same permissions as the RPC service.

All versions of the package safe-eval are vulnerable to Sandbox Bypass due to improper input sanitization. The vulnerability is derived from prototype pollution exploitation. Exploiting this vulnerability might result in remote code execution (RCE). **Vulnerable functions:** __defineGetter__, stack(), toLocaleString(), propertyIsEnumerable.call(), valueOf().

All versions of the package safe-eval are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the safeEval function, due to improper sanitization of its parameter content.

All versions of the package safe-eval are vulnerable to Sandbox Bypass due to improper input sanitization. The vulnerability is derived from prototype pollution exploitation. Exploiting this vulnerability might result in remote code execution ("RCE"). **Vulnerable functions:** __defineGetter__, stack(), toLocaleString(), propertyIsEnumerable.call(), valueOf().
